The democrats (and others) used the word felon correctly.
Nope... Trump is NOT a felon... Did he vote for himself in 2024?? YUP... because he's not convicted yet...
Judge needs to rule on the case... BUT wait there's more... And the appeals court needs to hear the appeal... If there is a conviction where it'll be thrown out.
Again you knowledge of the US is spectacular once again Alan.
I have no TDS (clue, it's not a thing). I see Donald Trump for who he is.
This is the first time a MAGA Republican is accused of pedophilia, that
I know of. But look at it this way: there's no proof. Just testimony.
"Go in there and tell them that Matt Gaetz had sex with you 10 years
ago and that he smoked crack too."
Every time someone wants a politician removed, they make sex
allegations, but there's never any proof (except when it's a Democrat.)
Assuming there is a report.
There is a report. The investigation was concluded and Gaetz was told about it and chose to resign rather than face the consequences.
In spite of Gaetz's resignation the report can be released although
MAGAs won't support that and congress can't slap him.
Trump has already been convicted. He is awaiting sentencing.
He was convicted on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records.
Even if that case is under appeal, he is a felon until if/when it
is appealed.
If it is thrown out on merit, then that is a good thing. If it is thrown out because a Trump appointed AG gets rid of it, then we cannot ever say if he was guilty or not.
In this case, he seems to be talking about the conviction from earlier this year and, for once, seems to have knowledge of what he is talking about.
I have a college friend who posts often on FB... or, at least he did
until the election was decided. He hung on Trump's every word, even
more than Aaron or Joe appear to, and was constantly posting about
Trump. The difference is that this friend is not a MAGA and detests "Cheeto Jesus" (his words). Otherwise he, like the most ardent MAGAs, couldn't get enough of Trump.
IMHO, that is an unhealthy obsession with someone you don't like. Not sure what the official term for that would be but "TDS" would seem to
fit the bill in this instance.
My guess would be that a Gaetz-lead DOJ will be a lot less likely to ever expose the Epstein list as he could very well be on it. Maybe on the Diddy list, too.

Trump is a felon after the judge renders the conviction. Until then... He's not. The judge is playing with the conviction because this is all a
game.
Alan Dershowitz, and many other Constitutional Scholars say that there are sooooooooo many reversible errors that the case will get tossed eventually... On appeal. Moreover, there is a bunch of evidence that should not have been presented in the case be cause, as per the Supreme Court, Trump had immunityithi
some of the evidence.
Alan Dershowitz, et al., said NY law says that the Judge has to sentence
1 year of Jury conviction... So he can't wait until 2029. And there is a way to tackle the case if the judge tries to postpone it until 2029.
In this case, he seems to be talking about the conviction from earlier this year and, for once, seems to have knowledge of what he is talking about.

His ability to vote is contingent on his voting status in New York, where he was convicted. In NY state, a felon CAN vote so long as they are not
incarcerated. He was not in jail, so he was still eligible to vote.

The appeals process doesn't change anything until a ruling is made in said appeal. If you appeal a felony conviction, until the appelate court rules otherwise, you ARE a felon.

I just hope the GOP is prepared to win the special election.
Trump's nominations, if confirmed, are going to take a lot of excellent people away from their jobs, like Doug Bergum and Kristi Noem for
example.
As long as they have good replacements, it will be ok I guess. (But I don't want to see any red states being taken over by Democrats!)

I think you might be confusing the sentence with the conviction. Trump has been convicted of a felony. Whether he is sentenced to community service or jail doesn't alter the felony status of the conviction.
Yeah, I think that is probably part of the "right to a fair trial" protection. It would prevent NY from holding someone indefinately
without finally sentencing them.
I have seen Alan use both, and both are true. Trump was convicted of a felony. He has yet to be sentenced but, until/unless the case is
appealed and/or tossed, he is currently convicted of a felony and is therefore a felon.
That depends on what state you live in and also may be subject to you actually being sentenced and/or exhausting your appeals.
There is an appeals process but you are a convicted felon upon
conviction, not sentencing. Otherwise, someone who never exhausts their appeals would never be a felon.
And a distraction from Biden's misappropriation and mishandling of classified materials.

If you are meaning that one of them is not agreeing with everything Trump says or does, that is not TDS. Just like not agreeing with everything that Obama said and did didn't mean some of us had ODS.

Trump only has 4 years to start cleaning things out, or the Elitists
will cheat again and we'll be right back to where we started. He needs
to use those good people now.
I know that I have to put up with this mess in Michigan for another 2 years when we kick the Tyrant out of office along with her harpies. But I'm concerned about the election fraud like they have in California.

Trump guy, but he says that he's not allowed to vote.
I don't think there are a lot of people who are in-between (perhaps y and a few others.)
Personally, I think you are wrong here.
I believe that the number of people at the extremes are small.
I think most people are more in-between, running the range of "I kinda like the guy" to "he's a boor, but I like cheap gas, cheap food and no wars."
That's what shifted things for this election. The in-between people
left their idological safe-spaces when Bidenomics started messing with their lives.
I don't think there are a lot of people who are in-between (perhaps you few others.)
Here maybe not, but I think there are a lot of people who don't really like Trump as a person but find him a preferable choice to what the Democrats are offering -- meaning they don't hate him enough not to vote for him, or to vote for Harris.

You can believe what you want, but most of the rest of us know that he currently a convicted felon awaiting sentencing.
Except you are leaving out the part where, if the conviction is in
another state, Florida uses that state's felony voting rights
procedures. Since Trump was conviced in New York, Florida applies New York's rules.
In 2021 New York made it legal for felons to vote so long as they are not incarcerated at the time of the election. Trump is not in jail so Trump can vote.
Yea, he didn't do that. But I don't think he realizes that not voting eq to a vote for Harris.
I don't know what state he lives in but here I knew it did *not* equate
to that. In 2016, OTOH, I was not so sure so I voted for Trump even though I was not thrilled with either choice. I found him to be the preferable loudmouth to Hillary and didn't want to cast a vote that equated to voting for her.
This time, there were a lot of local things that I really wanted to get
my vote cast on, like an Amendment that clearly states that non-citizens cannot vote (I voted for it and it passed) and some non-partisan local government races.
From the ACLU....
:Start
If you were convicted outside Florida, your
voting rights are governed by the state where
you were convicted. In many other states, you
automatically regain your voting rights when
released from prison or complete probation/
parole.
:Stop
:Start
Exception: if you were convicted in another
state of murder or sexual conduct that would
be a felony in Florida, your voting rights are
governed by Florida law.
:Stop
You can't molest a boy in Georgia, get caught and found guilty... Run to Florida and Vote for Kamala.
Felons regaining their right to vote in Florida was a more recent thing as well. Before these newer laws felons couldn't vote period. This cuts them some slack.

NY case jury conviction, NO final Judgment/Sentencing...
-=Moot=-
Donald Trump's sentencing is set for July 11, 2024, just days before the Republican National Convention kicks off. So, we're in this strange limbo wher
he's guilty of felony crimes but not quite a convicted felon - at least not until he gets his official sentence. During sentencing, the judge will decide his fate, which could range from a slap on the wrist to time behind bars. Trump's crimes fall under the Class E felony category in New York, which is th
lowest level of felony in the state. He could face a fine, probation, or up to
four years in prison.
I have posted this to you 3 or 4 times.
Is there something there you don't understand??
Lets not get to deep into the weeds because if you don't understand this... everything else is pointless.
Please explain yourself.
I didn't want to add a second item so as I might confuse you.
Here is a lawyer explaining that Judges can throwout jury convictions, not if they are found innocent but if they are found guilty.
This is why it takes the final judges sentencing to seal the deal.
